Just as I’m packing my bags for a business trip in Asia (and a sidetrip to my dear Manila), I receive this letter. I know I want to say something but that will have to wait until I’m safely landed in the Pearl of the Orient. For now, dear Eli, I’d say talk to a friend in person. That would greatly help. And to you dear MGG readers, read on and share your thoughts with our co-MGG reader Eli.

Hello Migs,

I’m writing you because I just need some clarity on my situation. I am just so hopelessly confused and depressed right now, I’d appreciate if you could offer some insights to my situation. I’m writing as a hopelessly repressed 21-year-old student, eldest in the family. I’d like to say I’m hot, but I’ve gained some weight faster than I could lose some, so yea, I probably need some improvement. Here is my story. I would appreciate if you did not publish my name. Thanks.

Are you SINCERELY looking for friends among us, I mean PLUs (People Like Us)? If you’re looking for a friend, not a fuck, then maybe you can try out this new experiment of mine: an ultra-private social networking site exclusively for MGG readers. No one can see or browse it unless you are a member. And for now, the membership is by invitation. To be invited, see the instructions at the bottom of this post. Meanwhile, here’s an email from an MGG reader who inspired me to create this ultra-private social networking site.

Dear Migs,

I recently come across with your blog (website) and I would say — youâ€™re really gay guy SUPERSTAR in the gay community. Cheers and World Peace! Your blogs are diverse that cater every aspect of being gay, life of many gays and others that almost all PLUâ€™s can relate with. Isnâ€™t that great and fab? I LOVE your blog really.
